There’s a lot of good things going for theMicrosoft Solitaire Collection. The recently-revampedgameset of variousgameswas mostly welcomed by avid solitaire players around the world.

However, even this graphically simplegamesomehow has more than a few issues. Some of them are self-explanatory while theerror404017 is quite peculiar.

Someplayerssee thiserrorprompt whenever they start thegameand, well, nothing happens. They close it and play without problems. Now, even though error 404017 can’t be related to a problem, it sure is anerror. And we have a few ways to get rid of it.

How to fix error 404017 in Microsoft Solitaire Collection

Solution 1 – Reset Store

Let’s start by resetting the store cache. Due to the mysterious nature of theerrorat hand, we can’t be sure whether this is an isolated Microsoft Solitare Collection error or it has something to do with the Store itself.

The most common way to address Microsoft Store stalling or misbehaving is by resetting it. This is an essential system application and it can’t be reinstalled, but a reset should be a good start.

Here’s how to reset the store with the WSReset command:

Solution 2 – Run app troubleshooter

The next thing we can do is run the dedicated built-introubleshooter. There’s a whole menu of tools forWindows 10designated to troubleshoot a variety of system issues.

In this case, we’ll be looking for theStoreApps troubleshooter. If it doesn’t relieve you of the error 404017, it should at least give you a hint on what went wrong.

You can run the built-inStoreapps troubleshooter by following these steps:

Solution 3 – Reset the MSC to factory settings and update it

Now, even thoughStorecan’t be reinstalled or thoroughly meddled with, you can most certainly tweakMicrosoft SolitaireCollection. The one action we usually recommend if one or another UWP app has issues is to do a factory reset.

You don’t need to worry about your score (in-game progress) as it’s saved in the cloud and thus safe from deletion.

Here’s how to resetMicrosoft SolitaireCollection to factory settings:

After you’ve done that, we suggest checking for updates. In order for the Collection to work in a seamless manner, make sure it’s up to date. You can update the app by accessing the Microsoft Store.

Once there, open Downloads & Updates from the 3-dot menu. The only remaining thing is to click Get updates.

Solution 4 – Run SFC and DISM

If theerror404017 persists, it’s maybe time to get big guns into play. Besides theStoreand apps falling within its ecosystem, there are still some interfering factors.

For example, if certain system files get corrupted, it can affect theStore. Theoretically, that’s quite a rare occurrence, but knowingWindows 10, running SFC and DISM is well-advised.

They work the best when running together, one after another. The first utility we’ll need to use is the System File Checker. After that, if noerroris found, run the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool.

Here’s how to run both tools via the Command Prompt:

As an alternative, you will most likely resolve Solitaire errors with apractical repairing servicethat automatically detects damaged system files on your PC.

Solution 5 – Update Windows

MandatoryWindows 10updates are known for causing all kinds of issues, as Microsoft likes to fix what is not broken and make you accept it whether you like it or not. Thankfully, not every update is like that.

Theerrorat hand emerged for some users just after an update, but we might expect that a next update resolves it. Therefore, we suggest checking for the update manually and hoping for the best.

Here’s how to check for updates inWindows 10:

Solution 6 – Reinstall the game

Finally, if none of the previous steps helped you address the error 404017, we suggest reinstalling thegameas the last resort. Microsoft Store apps, like their older siblings – win32 applications, can get buggy and a reinstall is due.

In this case, we can’t say with certainty whether reinstallation brings more success than the previous solutions, but it’s worth giving it a try.

Follow these steps to reinstallMicrosoft SolitaireCollection:

With that said, we come to a conclusion. If you’re still having a hard time with this or any othererrorinMicrosoft SolitaireCollection, contacting Microsoft is the next obvious step. Also, tell us if we helped you or not in the comments section below.
